You Know what i mean...the games story leads you in a certain direction throughout the game, Then Suddenly...Something happens that you weren't expecting... (SPOILER: Like In Professor Layton and the lost future and how they never actually travelled through time and that future luke is actually evil and tries to destroy London END SPOILER) The Wierdest Twist i have seen...is the whole plot of the recent DS game Ghost Trick...You would have to play/download/rent to see what i mean....i mean come on....a talking dog who dies, you save him....he goes and gets killed later on in the game, only this time with super powers...Or how about the Michael Jackson impersonating Investigator...or...the fact that the main character turns out to be a cat. So i say, Tell me about video game twists you have seen

I think the best Video game twist is in Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic. You are told about a Sith Lord named Darth Revan who was betrayed by his apprentice Darth Malak. When you face Malak you are told that(SPOILER: all along YOU are Darth Revan who underwent a memory wipe by the jedi so that you can redeem yourself. END SPOILER)

I love the metal gear twists, especially since they often do them for the twist's sake, rather then having an actual story to back it up. My favorite is in Metal gear 2.
First, Snake must find a spy inside the militairy base, he can find her because it's the only girl in the entire base (why would they send a female spy to an all male base?) and he can only find her when she goes to the women's bathroom (why would the spy go to a women's bathroom if she tries to hide inside an all male base?....Why is there a female bathroom in a all-male base?) Then inside that bathroom, the spy takes Snake along in a elevator that's inside one of the toilet stalls (err..) And we haven't even gotten to the actual twists yet.
See, then you cross a bridge, but suddenly grey fox destroys the bridge with teh girl spy on it, killing her, just to block Snake's way, so Snake has to leave. However, later Snake get's a secret message by a hidden person giving him directions to another way how he can cross the gap where the bridge used to be.
Then later in the game when you confront Grey Fox, he has a sob story that his girlfriend couldn't get into the USA so he offered her a job in the militairy base instead, but she tragically died. That girlfriend was the spy. Also, Grey Fox was the guy who secretly sent the message to Snake. So taking that information back to the start of the game, that means
A) The girl spy was trying to stay hidden in a militairy base where she's officially hired and supposed to be. B) Grey Fox mourns about the tragic and sad loss of his girlfriend, but he was the one who killed her C) And all that, just to make sure Snake won't cross the bridge...AND THEN HE SENDS A MESSAGE TO SNAKE TELLING HIM HOW TO CROSS THE GAP ANYWAY.
Story makes no seeeense.. But who cares, PLOTTWISTS!

Good god. XD Perfect material for a parody right there! And as for plottwists - Of course "Tales of Symphonia" comes to mind, with it's sheer endlessness of twist and turns. But I guess I've overused that as an example, so... "Braid" had a pretty baffeling twist on the classic "hero rescues princess"-Mario-ish theme.

You forget. Big Boss returns as a cyborg in the end after you killed him in the first game. And you have to defeat him with a make shift flame thrower, MacGuyver style.

You forget. Big Boss returns as a cyborg in the end after you killed him in the first game. And you have to defeat him with a make shift flame thrower, MacGuyver style. I didn't forget, that's just the most boring twists of metal gear 2. There's a lot more and much better gold in there. Snake trying to get a videogame out of a vault, guarded by flesh eating hamsters. Snake trying to fool a guard to think it's night by carrying an owl in his backpack. Snake trying to get a scientist off his back by throwing missles on top of himself or walking on landmines. That stuff actually happens in the game. Big Boss being a cyborg and killed by a flamethrower is way, way, waayyyy lower on my WTF list of that game. These things are practically normal. ...are there any games that end with a dance number? Donkey kong 64 maybe...Dunno... I end all my Kingdumb Hearts flash movies with a dance number, but it never happened in the games.

closest I can think of is Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron III. But the dance sequence is at the beginning with a disco version of the Star Wars theme.

That's not necessary Kojima's humour, or X or Y humour..that's just when people were having fun with the format, before gaming became such a huge market and all serious and gritty. (though the man tries to continue it in the current gen MGS games too..but in a smaller scale and too less extend than what he used to do in MGS1)

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. Definitely.
::SPOILER:: . . . . . . . . . . . . . You find out that you actually don't exist. That all you worked for was a lie. That your every move is being controlled. You find out that you are a character in a game that someone known as "The Creator" made and he has the power to pull the plug at any moment. You end up escaping the game world and go into the real world to fight the Creator because you are still you... and you don't want to think of your life as a game. If he pulls that plug, you die. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ::END SPOILER::
*sigh* All of that frustration and hard work, only for it to be destroyed. And despite all that, I've never been gayer for a video game in my life. D8 Curse you, Star Ocean. ilu <3.
